Leap Frogging Number Lines

How can you make learning about number lines fun?  By adding a frog that hops along, of course!  The girls worked with number lines today to help them with addition stories and develop their number sense.  We will continue to work with the number line this week. 

Here's a fun way to reinforce this concept at home:  grab a fun cookie cutter and cut 20 shapes out of Model Magic.  Number them 1-20 and let them dry.  Have your daughter put them in order and give her simple addition problems to solve.  Keep your unique number line in a safe place for a snow day :-)
